Network Slows Down When Using A Switch
Apr 1, 2013
I have an office addition in which I've extended the network connection from the wall by adding a 4 port Linksys workgroup switch. This was done so two salespeople could share one ethernet wall connection. They've been complaining about internet speeds, so I did some tests.
1) Replaced the Linksys workgroup switch with a higher end 16 port switch we had on hand from Allied Telesis (an AT-GS950).Resulted in no change in speed on the two user computers (one desktop, one laptop; both seeing avg of 7 Mbps). However, when I connect my laptop, the speeds were twice as fast (15 Mpbs vs.7).I looked at the NIC configurations to compare settings and we all had the same settings.
2) When I eliminate the switches altogether and hook the user's computers directly to the wall connection, the speeds are as promised by our ISP (15 Mbps).Is there something I need to configure in these switches to speed them up?I don't think it's possible to manage the Linksys. Is my only option at this point to pay for another ethernet re-wire so each of them can connect directly via the wall and eliminate the switches?

Recently my wirless computer has been loading web pages extremely slow. When I download anything the download speed will start at around 2Mbps and then within second drop to 1Mbps then so on untill it's showing a download speed of bytes. Not kilobytes but just the b. Then int will hang up and the download will fail. Sometime resetting the adapter will allow me another failed attempt to download it. Ive reset the router reinstalled the operating system (was due for a fresh install anyway). Still nothing. Adapter shows connection to the router with 4/5 bars and through to the Internet.

Whenever my Raspberry Pi is connected to the network (via ethernet) the entire network is slowed to a crawl. On my main computer, ping times for google.com go from ~10ms to ~200ms and it takes forever to load web pages. Connections are also slow on the Pi, with an apt-get update showing pathetic speeds in the order of 1KB/s. Turning off the Pi completely removes the drag from the network. Interestingly, the local network appears to be fine, with scp copying files at reasonable rates; around 4.5MB/s to the Pi.
I've tried static and dynamic IP addresses for the Pi, but both have the same problems. Switching from Raspbian to Arch also had no effect.I've checked the connection's duplex with dmesg | grep -i duplex, which shows that the Pi's connection is running at 100Mbps, full-duplex, as expected.
My modem/router is a Billion 7404VNPX (an Australian thing); relatively high-end, albeit a bit buggy at times (it will occasionally delete all its firewall settings). It assigns IPs in the range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.20 and has 192.168.1.254 as its own IP. When I assign static IPs I tend to use the 192.168.1.200 area. I recently tested the connection with the Pi plugged straight into the modem (rather than via a wall socket) and it managed to crash it entirely!

I have 3 computers all running Windows 7 64bit. I had to move my desktop computer to a different room with no ethernet connection so I purchased a Linksys AE2500 usb wireless adapter for it. My router/modem is a Actiontec 2000 which came with my internet. When I have my desktop on and connected to the internet it slows down all the computers on the network and it is really slow. My question is do I have something installed wrong? I used the driver for teh adapter from this site and nothing else has changed.

My internet service grinds to all but a halt as soon as I plug in the ethernet cable to my desktop. Nothing is running in the background (that I can determine). Nothing is spamming data up or down (that I can determine). I get 40ms ping and 12Mbps downloads on every device I have until I plug in my big boy; then all the speeds come crashing down to 600ms ping and 0.9-1.4Mbps downloads (including the desktop, I have not been able to play SWTOR for weeks now). It's not the provider, (I thought it was) but I switched from Time Warner to AT&T with the exact same results. ASUS P8P67 Pro; I've had funky issues with USB ports and one SATA port died. Other friends suggest I may have an awful bug and I need to wipe and start over. I wouldn't mind doing that, but I don't have a windows recovery disk (my copy is legitimate).

I believe it is because of my GFX card driver, because when not enabled, im getting around 5mb/s DL and once I enable it, I get around .37mb/s.

My Internet speed slows down from about 4mpbs to 1mpbs approx until I reboot after which it runs fine until it slows down again.I have a Netgear DGN2000 router, and have tried restoring to factory settings and using it that way - made no difference.

At around 2:30 PM each day, the internet slows down, and it says its connected but with limited access. A few minutes later, it gets full connection again, but it is super slow, then the same cycle starts over again. It stops happening around 8:00 PM.

Often (almost always) , when i am connected to wifi via my linksys wireless n PCI e card, speeds are suuuuper slow, and it even causes my computer speeds to slow down (mouse tweaks and glitches, loading bars will stop and start spinning.. etc. almost like low RAM problem?).When i disconnect from wifi, the slow computer problem goes away.I have replaced the wifi card since i thought that was the problem. Although the problem came back.I am currently using a USB wireless N adapter, and i have one bar connectivity, and it runs 100x faster than my PCI card. OH AND ALSO: a few times i have been using m,y desktop with super slow speeds on the PCI card, and i connect on my PS3 or laptop and open a web page. SOMETIMES it will affect something, and my desktop will start running with network speeds again. It's almost like the other devices re-set something in the router?

I have FiOS and their supplied wireless router Actiontec #: MI424WR. I have equipment that uses the newer N signal so I purchased a Linksys E3000 Wireless-N Router. This is working great for my wireless home theater equipment but I am having problems with my wired speed. It has gone from 20 to 30 mbps to around 10 mbps. I have one of the LAN outputs on the Actiontec feeding the Linksys input, I have my computers plugged directly into the Linksys verses the Actiontec. This makes it easier to program the Linksys router. Since I am no longer using the wireless part of the Actiontec there really is no need to be plugged into it. Is there anything I can do get my speed back or will I have to plug the computer back into the Actiontec and move it every time I may need to make a change to the Linksys

problem is that my internet traffic slows down to a stop after 5 minutes or so of activity. It is not a complete stop, sometimes I may get a tiny burst of traffic after 2 minutes or more of inactivity. I am connected via an ADSL wireless routerOther computers on the (windows workgroup) network do NOT have this problem. I am able to communicate normally with other local network computers. I am using Windows XP SP3, there are also Windows 7 computers on the local network[CODE]

My DIR-601 router with 1.02NA firmware When the wireless is activated and not in use by any device (as shown in the wireless status) I experience major and gradual slowdown of my DL/UL speeds and ping. When I deactivate wireless the problem is solved even though no device was using the wireless at the time of the slowdown. I've tried resetting, reverting to factory defaults, updating the firmware(was already up to date), unplugging the router for a considerable amount of time (2hours+). Even though it's not quite related I've tried connecting directly to the modem just for thoroughness' sake.

When I connect directly to my dsl modem, I am getting better than 5 megabits/sec. which is what I should be getting for download speed.When connected thru the router, I am getting about half of that.My wireless connection speed is 54 megabits/sec, so that is ok. I cannot get any connection when I hardwire the connection from the pc to the router too.

Two desktop computers are hard-wired to Belkin F5D8235-4 v1000(Firmware Version 1.01.19. When second computer is initialized, first computer slows to a crawl online. Comcast technician says modem is fine, but router appears to be the problem. Cannot find the extension .bin to download upgraded firmware and I don't know whether or not that will work. Is it time to purchase a new Belkin?

I have just received Time Warner Cable and get 16Mbps down from them directly through their modem (motorola DOCSIS 2.0 modem- SB5101) to my PC (using speedtest.net). When I then connect TWC's modem through my 2801 router on fa0/0, the download rate I get is considerably slower (on the order of 3-4Mbps via same testing method). What am I missing?
Here is how the passthrough interface is setup:
interface FastEthernet0/0
bandwidth receive inherit
ip address dhcp
ip nat outside
ip virtual-reassembly in
duplex auto
speed auto
I have attempted removing bandwidth command - nothing changed with it not there. I have also hard coded the speed and duplex to 100/full to no avail....
Other possible relevant configs:
ip nat inside source list 1 interface FastEthernet0/0 overload
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 dhcp
access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
Basically this things is wide open... for testing but the download speed differential is perplexing to me.

I have a Linksys WR-110 wireless router that has been acting up lately. I have 10mbps cable internet and have my desktop computer hardwired to the router. I notice that after a few days the download speed gets down to the 2mbps range. Verified by { URL}. If you do a hard boot (unplug for 30 seconds) it will go back to 10mbps speed again. But it seems after a few days it slows own again.
I always run speed test to verify, and it always runs back up at advertised speeds once i hard boot.
Why would this be happening?

I have a Zoom 5350 Cable modem/wireless router. When I'm using uTorrent on a wired connection, and DHT is updating, my internet surfing is inaccessible for like 2-3 mins. This is even when I have no DL or UL going. It's really frustrating.
I have a Motorola modem that I tested on and it's fine with the DHT thing. Seems like maybe a setting in the Zoom 5350 is causing a slow down?
I'm getting rid of this modem/router soon. I'm just going to run a cisco e900 with my motorola modem, but I still would like to know if this is a common problem and what possible remedies there are..

I am on a point to point internet connection that is rated at 2mbps. With my PC connected directly to the modem or through an old Airlink101 (model AR680W) router typical DL speeds are 1.9 to 2.4 mbps. However the Airlink router has to be reset 2 to 3 times per day.
I am trying to replace this router, however every router I've tried cuts the download speed in half (about 0.9 to 1.3 mbps). So far I've tried two Ultra Speed wireless N routers; two D-Link DIR 615's; and one Linksys E1200. When I talk to their tech support after testing they say that the routers must be faulty, but what are the odds of getting 5 bad routers from 3 different manufactures.
My IP does not know of any compatability issues with any routers.

Ever since I started using iPads at the house I have had to reboot the router about once a week because the download speeds drops by approximately 90%. As soon as the reboot completes all is right with the world for about another week. During the course of the week, but not all at once, we will have 4 iPads, 3 iPhones, 2 laptops and one desktop(wired), a Verizon signal booster and house guests. I have updated the firmware.

We have Cisco ASA 5510 256RAM running 8.2.4 with CSC 6.3.1172.4, it slows down internet traffics drastically when we do speed test, we get something like this, It the computer is bypassing the CSC, it gets This was done when there's very low traffic on the LAN and CPU is low usage on the CSC. The CSC has been re-imaged also but still doesn't solve the problem.

Replaced an older RV042 that had damage from lightning. The new RV042 is V03 with firmware 4.0.0.7. This router supports 7 branch offices using site-to-site VPN to other RV042 routers. After connecting the new RV042 at the main office, three of the branch offices had very slow response over the VPN tunnel. I disabled the firewall on the new RV042 and the problem resolved. The three branches with the problem have Windows 7 systems and the other 4 have Windows XP. I confirmed that the Windows firewall was disabled on the Windows 7 systems.I did try leaving the firewall enabled and disabling SPI, but that didn't work. Have to have firewall disabled to resolve the problem. I would not expect the firewall on the main office RV042 to affect VPN tunnel traffic, but apparently it does. Do we need specific access rules to fix the issue. It works fine with firewall disbaled, but I'd be more comfortable with it enabled.

I recently took over at a company as IT Manager. All through my career I have heard about the quality of Cisco equipment. Over the past few years I have used a few different Cisco products with good success. When I took over they were using an assortment of old D-link DI-604UP's & DI-804HV routers. The problem is that most of the DSL Internet connections now are faster than the 10 megs that these units WAN connections support. Since they were working fine other than that I felt that replacing them with the RV042 would be a good step. So far I have purchased 6 & implemented 5 of them. The sites vary in number of network devices from 10 to about 50.
The problem is that 4 of the 5 routers start to slow down & finally stop responding after a period of time. If I unplug them, count to 10 & plug them in again they work fine again for a period of time & then quit. The length of time varies between sites & even varies on the same unit. They may go for 2 days or 2 weeks. I never know what I'm going to get. When they go down I don't even have local access to them. It's like they overload & can't accept any more data. I can't tell you what version of firmware they originally had but I can tell you I had upgraded 3 of them to version 4.0.4.02 & then to version 4.1.0.02. I reset & manually re-entered all the settings after I did this.
I have read through the posts & have changed the MTU settings & tried disabling the SPI firewall setting to no avail. The D-link routers ran flawlessley until I replaced them & have done so since I put them back.
I now have over $1000.00 dollars worth of routers that I can't use. I have a boss that is on me because I talked him into spending the money when the $200.00 dollars worth of routers I replaced were working fine.
I have 10 locations to upgrade the total infrastructure in. Routers, switches, etc. If I don't get this resolved quick there is no way in the world I be buying any more Cisco equipment.

I have a mysterious problem with my Internet connection. The Edge topology is in the attachment so are the most important "show" commands. We have a 50Mb/s symmetric Internet connection. When we use Internet through ASA the download speed does not exceed 3Mb/s whereas the upstream is at about 45Mb/s. When we connect our LAN directly to 2960 the downstream increases dramatically up to 47Mb/s whereas the upstream remains at about 45Mb/s. Duplex is manually set to 1000/full on all interfaces. All that I have noticed are dropped packets on outside interface (Gi0/0). The reason is unclear.

I used to use a DSL modem/router supplied by Bell (my ISP) and it was a 2wire router, but the signal was not enough to supply my entire house, it was 802.11b/g.Now recently I bought a Tenda W307R, N router all-in-one with an AP.I just plugged it right into the 2wire (modem) and now the Tenda routes the wireless signal. However, I am experiencing that it slows down every few minutes or so, for 30 second intervals, then the internet catches on again and everything is good.

I just installed my new EA6500 and everything works ok I think, Netflix across my PS3 is ok, laptop connects, and smartphones connect. The problem is that my Internet connection to my desktop (wired) PC is slow as mud. My ISP is a fiber optic provider and although I'm not sure exactly what my connection speeds are my Internet connection has always been blistering fast. With everything other than two smartphones turned off my desktops Internet access is slow. How to get my speed back and still use my new router?

When connecting wirelessly (5GHz) to the E3000 after a day or so the wireless connection starts loosing speed. I have Comcast and usually get 20-30 MB download connections. After a day or so I start to lose speed (down to 5MB) until I reboot the E3000. Then I resume 20-30MB download connections. My wired connections appear fine and don’t experience the slow down. I'm doing my speed test with [URL]
The wireless slow down seems similar to the old memory leak condition of old Windows OS’s. Called Cisco and they don’t have an idea. They had me change a few settings (channel info) but I’m pretty technical and don’t feel that will fix it.
